The author's comments:

This piece was written on a cloudy day when everything seemed to be going wrong in my life. I just collected myself and written this poem to spread out my anger towards it. My aggression can be noticed in this poem and i am now ready to move on and really move on with my life. I decided to make this fiction because it isn't exactly something that really happened to me, this poem is more like a metaphor of what made me so mad about my life.

Day by day, night by night, sit here alone, no more fright.

Nothing to worry, nothing to fear, it's all away now, the air is now clear.

No screaming, not a sound, it seems quieter, without you around.

No matter what you say, what you plead, I'm not yours anymore I'm nothing you need.

A silent wish, for you to be gone, came true today, no time to be fond.

You say I miss you, I know that's a lie, you never knew me, here's your proof why.
